How to Best Prepare for the AI Jobs Apocalypse

Date:

Whether inspired by science fiction or true technological progress, people have long feared that human workers will one day be replaced by robots or artificial intelligence (AI). 

To some, that future may be generations away. But ever since ChatGPT’s debut in late 2022, AI has progressed at unfathomable speeds. And over the past few quarters, we’ve seen that rapid success translate into stellar earnings for the firms implementing new AI technologies. 

We’ve also seen increased news headlines about AI and robots taking our jobs. 

Indeed, Goldman Sachs estimates that AI could replace 300 million full-time jobs. McKinsey Global projects that around 15% of workers globally will have to change careers due to artificial intelligence. OpenAI’s research suggests that about 20% of workers may be at risk to AI-powered automation. Citi sees the technology impacting more than half of all jobs in finance. And according to a recent Conference Board survey, about 50% of CEOs think they’ll eventually replace human labor with AI. 

Those are scary figures, to be sure. But to most, they are just hypotheticals – nothing more.

It seems that the consensus belief among everyday Americans is that the whole AI Revolution is way overblown; and even if it triggers a job apocalypse, it won’t happen for another 10 or 20 years. 

But this labor catastrophe may be much closer than you think.
